ANN DEEGAN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

COVER FOR FLAT-mons.

Speeieation of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept, 10, 1907.

Application filed April 20,1907. Slial NO- 369,383.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ANN DEEGAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at 395 East Sixty-second street, in thecity of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful article of manufacture, of which the following is a specication.

The object of my invention is to provide a cover for [iat-irons used for smoothing cloth and other fabrics, whereby said irons may be heated more rapidly and With a more economical expenditure of fuel.

The manner in which I accomplish my object is described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in Which:-

Figure l is a top plan view, and Fig` 2 is a sectional elevation on theline 2 2 Fig. l. Y

In the drawings A is the main body of said cover. This body is made preferably of thin sheet-iron. In size it is adapted to the particular class of irons it is designed to cover. The height as shown in Fig. 2 is adapted to cover irons having iixed handles. The form as shown in the plan View is a double ellipse the intersection being cut out. This form is adapted to inclose two lat-irons as shown. The bottom edge of the body A is turned and forms a tubular base B. The top edge of the body A is turned out and down to form a channel C. Covering the body A is a top D. This top is formed with a double curve, and the edge E is turned in and up into the channel C. These parts of the body A and top D are permanently united by pressure. Extending across the top D from the center of each curve is a handle F, the ends of Which are secured by the rivshown, it is adapted to be placed on the top of a stove over a pair of flat-irons as shown in Fig. 2 the base line II representing the top of a stove. The heat arising from the stove is retained Within the cover and surrounding the flat-irons heats them much more rapidly than when as in ordinary use the fiat-iron is heated simply by Contact of the bottom of the iro-n Withthe top plate or gas fiame of the stove.

The dotted lines in both figures represent flat-irons. The fiat-iron I indicates a form adapted to be used with a detachable handle not shown. The other iron .I indicates a common flat-iron having a fixed handle .I1

It is obvious that the cover can be instantly removed and replaced as the irons are changed, and that when the cover is made for exclusive use over the flat-irons indicated by I that the height of the body A can be greatly reduced.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:-

A flat iron heater consisting of a shell which in cross section forms a double intersecting ellipse adapted to inclose a flat iron Within the space of each ellipse, said shell having an open bottom, vertical sides, a tubular base, a double elliptical convex, air tight top, and a handle aiixed to the highest points of said top transversely of said shell as described. v
